BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 - Pouncing Into His Arms
Chapter 167: Pouncing Into His Arms
“However, Brother Nine, you’re wrong about one thing. You’ll get whatever you want yourself. That was in the past. I’ll help you get whatever you want in the future.”
Yin Jiujin was taken aback.
“Don’t you doubt it. I mean it. You know, I’m good.”
Wasn’t she afraid that the Yin Family would suspect her by voicing it out like this?
Of course, she was not afraid. They could not guess her identity anyway.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” Yin Jiujin raised his hand and pinched her face. “You’re right. You’ll help me get whatever I want in the future.”
The young lady was indeed silly. She gave her all to him and did not know how to hold back at all.
After blowing out the candles, Yin Jiujin cut the cake under the complicated gazes of the four Yin Family members.
However, she sat down and brought the cake in front of her. She looked up at the four people standing there. “You don’t have a share of the cake that my fiancée made for me.”
Then, he took a bite himself and fed Yan Jinyu another bite.
Min Qinglan, who disliked Yan Jinyu, couldn’t stand their lovey-dovey anymore. She turned around and walked out of the dining room. “I’m going out for a walk.”
The other three people also found an excuse to leave.
However, when they left the restaurant, Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan clearly took a double-look at Yan Jinyu.
With their experience and Yan Jinyu’s words, they naturally didn’t think that it was all a joke.
They didn’t know Yan Jinyu, but they knew Yin Jiujin.
They had seen with their own eyes that after Yan Jinyu said those words, Jin’er was obviously stunned. He was shocked and not suspicious.
In other words, in Jin’er’s opinion, Yan Jinyu wasn’t boasting.
They had already investigated the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, Yan Jinyu, when Jin’er brought her back.
She didn’t have any outstanding ability.
Investigate again?
No, after seeing that Jin’er valued her so much, there was no need for them to investigate further.
Firstly, they believed in Jin’er’s judgment of people.
Secondly, there was no need for them to anger Jin’er again just to investigate Yan Jinyu.
They couldn’t help but think more highly of Yan Jinyu.
No matter what, as long as she wasn’t scheming or evil, they would not pursue the matter too much.
Not long after finishing the cake, Yin Jiujin went to the study to deal with the document that Lin Zimu had sent over at the last minute. In order not to disturb him, Yan Jinyu didn’t follow him.
She didn’t want to be alone with the Yin Family either.
It was not that she was afraid of them, but she was afraid that if Min Qinglan looked for trouble with her again, she would not be able to restrain herself and make a move against her.
She was actually a little frustrated when she thought of the woman whom Yin Jiujin hated so much.
It was fine with Yin Jiujin by her side as her frustration was suppressed. Once Yin Jiujin wasn’t by her side, her frustration appeared again.
Hence, Yan Jinyu took a bottle of yogurt from the fridge and went upstairs to her room.
She did not stay in the room. Instead, she walked to the hanging chair on the balcony and sat down. She took out her phone and dialed a number. “Meimei.”
“Beauty Yu, what’s up?”
“Help me investigate someone.”
Xi Fengling was stunned. Beauty Yu was asking her to help investigate someone?
Beauty Yu usually wouldn’t tell them anything that she could resolve on her own.
Did something big happen?!
Xi Fengling’s expression turned serious. “Who are we investigating?”
“The Lingering Garden in the capital. A woman who might be related to Yin Jiujin. I want to know what relationship she has with Yin Jiujin.” She even heard the words “Lingering Garden” from Yin Wuzhan.
It wasn’t difficult to guess that the woman who had some connections to Yin Jiujin was related to Lingering Garden.
After returning to North City, she didn’t investigate Yin Jiujin again. As for before returning to North City, she wanted to get close to Yin Jiujin, so she naturally had to investigate.
However, she had only found some superficial information about Yin Jiujin.
She didn’t want to investigate Yin Jiujin, but she couldn’t ignore that woman no matter what.
Hence, she had to investigate this.
“Yu Qingwan from the Lingering Garden?”
As soon as Xi Fengling finished speaking, she regretted it. Wasn’t she clearly telling Beauty Yu that she knew of such a person’s existence?
She knew, but she didn’t tell Beauty Yu beforehand…
Based on Beauty Yu’s personality, she probably wouldn’t let this matter go so easily.
She felt like Beauty Yu was going to hold a grudge again.
“Meimei, do you know about her?”
“…Not really. After all, I’ve lived in the capital for three years and investigated the Min Family with Min Rufeng for so many years. As I investigate, I can always find some secrets.”
“Secrets?”
Yan Jinyu enunciated every word clearly. Even if she couldn’t hear her emotions, Xi Fengling’s heart trembled when she heard it.
“I’m talking about other secret matters. Second Young Master Yin and Yu Qingwan aren’t considered secret matters.” Xi Fengling coughed dryly and made up a story. “We knew that Second Young Master Yin was your fiancé, so when we found out that it was related to him, Min Rufeng and I investigated in detail.”
Yan Jinyu leaned lazily on the hanging chair. She held her phone in one hand and tapped lightly on the hanging chair with the other. She looked very nonchalant.
“What did you find out?”
Xi Fengling became serious.
“It’s like this. I heard it from someone else. They said that Yu Qingwan is the person in Second Young Master Yin’s heart, so I went to investigate. I didn’t expect to find something even bigger.”
“The person… in his heart?”
Xi Fengling’s lips twitched. “Beauty Yu, you don’t seem to have caught the main point. Ahem, that Yu Qingwan isn’t actually Second Young Master Yin’s lover. Don’t worry.” If it was true, she would have told Beauty Yu long ago. Why would she wait until now?
How could she and Min Rufeng not have found out about someone after a month?
“I’m talking about something else. That matter might be related to why Second Young Master Yin retired from the military in his early years and why he left the capital and enter the business world.”
Yan Jinyu’s hand that was knocking on the hanging chair casually paused, “What’s the matter?”
“We’re still investigating the exact details. We’ve only found some superficial information. Beauty Yu, you know that such a big matter that has something to do with Second Young Master Yin is actually not easy to investigate.”
“I heard that before Second Young Master Yin retired, other than Qin Hao, he had a very close comrade in the army. However, that comrade died on a mission, and Yu Qingwan seems to be related to that comrade.”
“You’re saying that Yin Jiujin always goes to the Lingering Garden to take care of his comrade’s old friend?” There was actually another reason why Yan Jinyu was so concerned. She knew that Yin Jiujin had to go to the Lingering Garden every time he returned to the capital.
“That’s not it.”
“Beauty Yu, don’t be anxious. Listen to me slowly.” As she spoke, she sighed inwardly. Beauty Yu was such a calm person in the past. Look at her now…
She did not know if it was good or bad that her mood could be affected so easily.
“Second Young Master Yin’s trip to the Lingering Garden has nothing to do with Yu Qingwan. It’s said that when Second Young Master Yin was very young… which is before he joined the army, he often accompanied Old Madam Yin to the Lingering Garden to watch the shows. Second Young Master Yin often goes to the Lingering Garden to commemorate Old Madam Yin.”
“Second Young Master Yin goes to the Lingering Garden no less than 20 times a year, but the number of times he meets Yu Qingwan can be counted on one hand.”
“I’ve seen her so few times. Where did Yin Jiujin’s disgust for her come from? Could it be because of his good comrade?”
“Disgust?”
“It should be unrelated to Second Young Master Yin’s comrade because according to the information I found, Yu Qingwan and Second Young Master Yin’s comrade have an extremely good relationship. Since she’s an old friend of Second Young Master Yin’s comrade, even if Second Young Master Yin doesn’t take care of her much, he shouldn’t hate her.”
“Could it be because Yu Qingwan pounced…” Xi Fengling suddenly paused.
She didn’t want to hide this from Beauty Yu because she was also very angry when she heard from Min Rufeng. However, she didn’t dare to say it when she thought that Beauty Yu would definitely not feel good if she knew about this.
Even if it was nothing, it was still very annoying!
“What?”
Xi Fengling knew that she couldn’t hide it from her anymore. Since that was the case, she might as well tell her everything she knew so that she wouldn’t have to waste her time investigating.
“S-she cried in Second Young Master Yin’s arms…”
The smile in Yan Jinyu’s eyes faded slightly, and her gaze turned colder. “Pounced… into his arms? And cry?”
“Beauty Yu, don’t be anxious. I’m not doing this for Second Young Master Yin. I just don’t want there to be any unnecessary misunderstandings between the two of you.”
“Think about it. With Second Young Master Yin’s temperament, if he really had something going on with Yu Qingwan, would he not keep her by his side? He has gone to the Lingering Garden hundreds of times in all these years, but the number of times he has met Yu Qingwan can be counted on one hand. How could Second Young Master Yin possibly have anything going on with Yu Qingwan? Besides, didn’t you say just now that Second Young Master Yin hated Yu Qingwan?”
“Even so, it seems a little unforgivable. With Yin Jiujin’s skills, if he wasn’t willing, would Yu Qingwan have easily pounced into his arms? Yin Jiujin even allowed her to cry in his arms?”
Xi Fengling couldn’t refute that.
Because no matter how she investigated, that had really happened.
“Beauty Yu, don’t be anxious or excited. If you really have doubts, ask Second Young Master Yin. If he can’t give you a reasonable explanation, y-you just don’t want him. There are so many men in the world. Without him, you can still find someone else…”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “How can that be?”
“If I believe him and trust him, then he’s mine. Even if he dies, he’s still mine.”
“…” Xi Fengling
Just as she was thinking about what to say to persuade her, Yan Jinyu said, “What does the sacrifice of a comrade have to do with Yin Jiujin retiring and leaving the capital?”
Her tone was normal, as if they had never talked about such a serious and shocking topic.
“I haven’t found out about that yet. I simply had this guess from the time Second Young Master Yin coincidentally retired and left the capital shortly after the sacrifice of his good comrade. Min Rufeng and I will continue to investigate. I’ll tell you when I have news.”
“Beauty Yu, it’s really not a small matter if it is investigated thoroughly. The estrangement between Second Young Master Yin and the Yin Family is probably related to this too.”
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Jinyu said, “Investigate it slowly. There’s no hurry. Meimei, you and Feng have to be careful. I’m afraid this news will alert Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao. Forget about Yin Jiujin. He’s a businessman. He doesn’t have so much responsibility. Even if he knows our identities, he won’t care too much. However, Qin Hao is different…””
“If it’s really dangerous, don’t investigate. Wait until I get to the capital.”
“Beauty Yu, don’t worry. We’ll be careful. It wasn’t easy for us to escape from Ghost Slaughter Island and gain freedom. We still have a good life ahead of us. We’ll retreat if there’s danger.”
“On the other hand, Beauty Yu, if you really want to find out what’s going on, go and ask Second Young Master Yin. Ask calmly, don’t be agitated first.”
“Meimei, do you think I’m agitated now?”
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Yan Jinyu, who had finished the bottle of yogurt in one go, narrowed her eyes and looked at the door through the floor-to-ceiling window.
She did not know who it was, but they were very good at finding trouble for themselves.
“Someone is knocking on the door. That’s all for now.”
“Beauty Yu, wait.”
Yan Jinyu’s hand that was about to hang up stopped. “Is there anything else?”
“If, I mean if, Second Young Master Yin really didn’t give you a reasonable explanation and you’re really angry. Endure it for a while and call us. We’ll make a move when we get there. This way, the chances of winning and the chances of you escaping unscathed will be higher.”
“What are you talking about? We’re civilized people. Why are we making a move?”
“…” Xi Fengling. She was still in the mood to joke. It seemed like things were still manageable.
After hanging up, Yan Jinyu held the phone in her hand. She got up and returned to her room. She accurately threw the yogurt bottle into the trash can before opening the door.
Seeing Min Qinglan standing in front of the door, the smile on Yan Jinyu’s face deepened.
“You’re blocking the door. Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Yan Jinyu opened the door and let her in.
She pointed at the pink sofa beside her. “Please sit.”
Min Qinglan walked over and sat down. Yan Jinyu leaned lazily against the door. “Auntie, what’s the matter?”
Min Qinglan frowned when she saw her like this, “Look at you. Why are you standing like that! You looked ill-bred! Come over and sit properly!”
Yan Jinyu smiled, “Auntie, have you forgotten whose territory this is? You came to my room to scold me. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to leave this room unscathed?”
